It Didn’t Look Like The Sun
I flunked out of poetry school for being a fool
My sonnets were carnal and my allusions cruel
I quoted Shakespeare clearly lacking optimism
The official charge was downright plagiarism
I had a California dream she was blonde and fun
I said there goes the moon it didn’t look like the sun
If beauty were brains she’d be several times undone
She said one and one is three it didn’t look like the sun
A coven of nuclear engineers had a project
My fantasy said “Baby can you share your rocket?”
Satanic engineers drooled over the bigger bang
We’ll dress up in leather and call ourselves a gang
I had a California dream she was blonde and fun
I said there goes the moon it didn’t look like the sun
If beauty were brains she’d be several times undone
She said one and one is three it didn’t look like the sun
Fornication is the celebration of the greater gods
I played the lottery unaware of the sinister odds
In Vegas I won in blackjack and lost it in the brothel
They refused me in heaven and second best was Hell
All the song lyrics Bob Dylan wrote will fade away
When saints are about to faint they learn how to pray
Jack Kerouac hit the sack right around sunrise
She screamed I love you madly but it was only lies
I had a California dream she was blonde and fun
I said there goes the moon it didn’t look like the sun
If beauty were brains she’d be several times undone
She said one and one is three it didn’t look like the sun
I picked Bert to be my secret pseudonym
One day everything will end and then we will begin
I will remember most those who were kind in heart
Living like poetry is the most sacred art
I had a California dream she was blonde and fun
I said there goes the moon it didn’t look like the sun
If beauty were brains she’d be several times undone
She said one and one is three it didn’t look like the sun
